In this article we will create a Flickr album viewer using Windows Phone App Studio. In my previous articles we learned how to use a YouTube Data Source in Windows Phone App Studio. In this article we will learn about a Flickr Data Source.

About Flickr Data Source

This Data Source is similar to a YouTube Data Source. You need to enter the search keyword or user id. The Data Source will automatically grab the pictures from the Flickr website. If you choose the search option then the result will be the same as when you get it by searching in the website. If you select the "user" option then the application will show the images from that Flickr user account.

Finding Flickr User ID

If you want to integrate any user account with this Data Source then you need to find the user id of that account. The best way to find the user is using this tool.
